Which should I pursue for study 1st?

I am planning on studying for my MCSA (Windows 2003). I believe I can
quickly study and pass the 70-270 XP professional exam. However, I have
heard that the 70-270 exam deals with a lot more than XP. It gets into
Windows server and networking questions.

Is this the case?

Would I be better served, studying and practicing for the 70-290 and 70-291
exams first?

70-270 is a good start if you are confident in using all the features of
windows xp + some networking.
i was not very good at networking when i did my 70-270 but still i had
enough knowledge to pass the exam as it doesnt go into too much detail. it
does however over lap the 70-290 just a little bit.

i would say do the 70-290 first as then you will have a good foundation to
get a high pass score on the 70-270.
as for the 70-291, definately not as your first exam. it really does test
networking concepts to the next level and i think that it does require a lot
more study and understanding of networking.
good luck

Thanks, I found this very useful.
I had tried to do the exam for windows 2000 Professional, but questions and
concepts not related directly to 2000 kept coming up. I gave up on getting
Certified for 2000. I was curious to knot it this was the case for XP.

Yes. Computing does not happen in a vaccum. Stuff has to work together.
You will get questions regarding how XP interacts with other stuff.
